Botanical Name:
Heuchera ‘TNHEU042’
HEW-ker-ah
Common Name: Dolce® Key Lime Pie coral bells
Genus:
Heuchera
Heucheras have undergone a breeding revolution in the last decade, with dozens of new cultivars appearing in many combinations of foliage color. While all are pleasing foliage plants, the lighter-colored varieties, with leaves in the amber-to-gold range, seem better adapted to shade. The most popular of these shade-loving varieties is Dolce® Key Lime Pie, with bright gold–chartreuse leaves. This evergreen gem prefers excellent drainage and will light up a dark, shady area.
Care:
Moist, well-drained soil.
Propagation:
By division.
Problems:
No serious problems.

This is the most beautiful chartreuse color I have seen in nature! I planted the last 2 that the nursery had today and I need to get more from somewhere! The brightness the color brings to a full shade garden on an overcast day is spectacular. It does not need to have a bloom to stand out!
